NX11 3D center lines and global lines settings

[bboobbss]

When I place the model on the drawing sheet through the base view command, it creates 3D center lines and the width of the model's visible lines are too thick.

I recently upgraded to version 11 (from 10) and I can't seem to find any solutions for these:

How do I turn off the center line setting? and

How do I apply a global setting to my line widths?

See attached image.

Thanks in advance,
Scott

Centerlines:
If you use drawing templates, open your template and go to preferences -> drafting -> View -> common -> general -> workflow and set the "create with centerlines" option as desired. If you use the "blank template", where the preferences are pulled from the customer defaults rather than the template file, you will need to edit your drafting standard in the customer defaults (customer defaults -> drafting -> general/setup -> standard -> customize standard -> view -> common -> workflow -> create with centerlines).

Line thickness:
Back in the drafting preferences -> view -> common, you will find entries for "visible lines", "hidden lines", "smooth edges", etc; these contain options for the line width on your drawing. Note that your plotter configuration can also affect line weights. If what you see on screen does not match what plots, the plotter configuration is probably the reason.

In your customer defaults you can load your previous NX10 Customer Defaults, which should take most of your settings from NX10 to NX11.

Thank you both for the quick responses! Much appreciated

We just went from NX9 to 11, and inheriting didn't seem to work for the line widths, or keeping the center lines off. We had to go back thru, and reset the line widths.

Center line disabling, I am still fighting, as it is off in our customer defaults, all of our drawing templates, and out model seed file. I've contacted GTAC about it.
